Christmas was especially meaningful this year for actor Josh Daniel Green, who can be seen as one of the flying monkeys in the hit musical Wicked at Broadway's Gershwin Theatre.

Following the Dec. 25 performance, Green was set to take part in what he thought was a backstage cast photo. When his boyfriend, Daniel Robinson, appeared dressed as another flying monkey, Green realized something special was afoot.

Robinson proposed to Green in front of the entire company, saying, "You inspire me. You dream with me, and you judge me only when I ask you to. I want to spend my life with you. Josh Daniel Green, will you marry me?"
